Add quinoa to a metal sieve. Run cold water over the quinoa until the water runs clear.
Lightly spray instant pot with olive oil cooking spray to coat. This helps keep the quinoa from sticking to the pot, and makes cleanup easier, but it's not necessary.
Add the rinsed quinoa, all of the water and pinch of salt to the instant pot.
Pressure cook on high pressure for 1 minute. Allow for a natural release for 10 minutes, and then do a quick release / manual release for the remaining pressure.
